The Balboa Inn
Your home in Panama

Images

The 'green' terrace is a great place to start the day with an excellent breakfast, birdsongs and with some luck you'll see the local tucan family flying around. Birdwatchers have told us they saw more birds at breakfast at the Balboa Inn then during their trip to the famous pipeline road.

The locks at Miraflores are a must-see.

If you take the train along the Canal, you'll be a 15 minute drive for old colonial history at the San Lorenzo fortress, inside San Lorenzo National Park. Seeing howler monkeys here is almost a given. On your way there, you can visit the Gatun locks, the Panama Canal's biggest set of locks that take ships up 24 meters (80 ft.) to the level of Gatun Lake.

It takes little imagination how the Spanish ships were anchored here, waiting to be loaded with the gold taken from Peru.
